Liverpool celebrate Main Stand opening with victory over champions Leicester

Liverpool 4 Leicester 1  

Make no mistake, this was a thoroughly deserved humbling of the defending Premier League champions, following on from the four goals Liverpool scored on the opening weekend at last season’s runners-up Arsenal.

But, when a toothless 2-0 defeat at Burnley is also factored in, it is hard to avoid the thought that Liverpool threaten to be just as inconsistent as they have been for many of the 27 seasons since they last won the title.
